The old steamer Talnne, which was sunk many months ago at Waikokopu, as a protection to the wharf there, is now practically useless (states the Napier Telegraph). The recent severe southerly gales have done considerable damage to her, and she has split in two. The bow remains in the same position, while the stern of the vessel has shifted some distance away and the deck has been washed up on the Opoutama beach, thus leaving the harbour in a worse state thaji when it was before the vessel was sunk.
